NASRI CAN’T QUITE CONTROL IT: Bendtner tries to find the feet of the captain on the edge of the area but it just rolls under his foot

68

NEARLY AN INSTANT IMPACT: Somma gets to the front post to meet a cross and knees the ball wide when he could have done better

67

Substitution
CHANGE FOR LEEDS: Somma for Paynter. Like for like up front for the home side

65

NO CHANCES TO NOTE: The game is being played in midfield and neither side are holding on the ball for sustained period

64

Substitution
CHANGE FOR LEEDS: O'Brien is limping off and he will be replaced by Bromby

FIRST REAL SIGN OF WATT: The Arsenal loanee plays a great give and go before Djourou is forced to concede a corner

54

LEEDS FREE KICK: Bendtner handles from the corner and Leeds clear

53

ARSHAVIN NEARLY IN: Bendtner does really well on the right before feeding Chamakh, he then gives it to Nasri on the edge of the area. First time, he passes the ball onto Arshavin and just as he is about to pull the trigger, Snodgrass comes from nowhere to slide the ball behind

51

GIBBS DOES WELL TO WIN A THROW IN: Paynter tries to hold the ball up in the corner but the defender does well to kick the ball of him and win the throw

50

NO CHANCES TO NOTE: Arsenal keeping the ball well and Leeds are chasing it

49

GOOD START FROM ARSENAL: They have come out of the traps quickly in the second half

48

GOOD FREE KICK FROM NASRI: He bends one towards the top left corner from 25 yards and Schmeichel has to be smart to get across and make the save

47

EARLY CHANCE FOR SONG: From a tight angle he stings the palms of Schmeichel.

Kick Off
NASRI AND BENDTNER GET US UNDERWAY: Arsenal kicking from left to right in this second half

45

ARSENAL MAKING THEIR WAY BACK OUT: It doesn’t look like any changes for the Gunners

Half Time

43

A LET OFF: Snodgrass has a go from 30 yards and finds row Z (at best)

42

NASRI CONCEDES A FREE KICK: In a dangerous crossing position

40

HOWSON NEARLY FINDS GRADEL: The home side have got their backs up now and look dangerous going forward.

38

A CRAZY FEW MINUTES: Arsenal were in control and that goal, out of nowhere, has got Leeds right back in the game

37

GOAL! - Bradley Johnson
1 : 2
Goal for Leeds. Johnson scores from long range to get the home side back into the game. That was some strike you have to say. 2-1

34

WHAT A STRIKE: There was nothing else on for the right back and he thundered into the to corner from a tight angle just inside the area

SNODGRASS FORCES A SAVE FROM SZCZESNY: The forward cuts inside onto his left foot from the right and bends an effort at goal. It’s straight at the ‘keeper who saves comfortably

30

Do we need to make this advantage count? Get your comments to us via www.arsenal.com/studio.

29

SZCZESNY HAS TO BE SHARP: Arshavin doesn’t get enough on a headed backpass and, with Gradel looking to pounce, the goalkeeper races off his line to gather well

28

ARSENAL IN CONTROL: At the moment, Wenger’s side look like they will go on to win this at a canter. But this is the FA Cup, and this is the Third Round

26

IT SHOULD BE TWO: Koscielny plays a great ball over the top to Sagna, who beats the offside trap before baring down on goal. He opts to square to Bendtner and, sliding in, he is just inches away from getting contact on the ball and making it 2-0

25

JOHAN DJOUROU: Yet again, he has been immaculate so far. Repelling everything that Leeds have thrown at him

24

SONG WINS IT WELL: The midfielder wins it from Snodgrass and sets Arsenal on an attack. The Cameroon man then over-hits a pass to Nasri and it runs out for a goalkick

23

LEEDS STARTING TO GROW: After the setback of the goal, the Championship side are beginning to get on the ball more without really creating anything

21

ARSHAVIN HAS A GO: And forces a smart stop low down to Schmeichel’s left. Decent stop that, but Arshavin has looked lively so far

20

IMPORTANT HEADER FROM DJOUROU: Snodgrass does well to beat Song and deliver a cross from the left. With two Leeds players waiting, the Swiss defender clears well under pressure

19

OH, WHAT A CHANCE: Chamakh plays a delightful ball across the six-yard box from the right to Arshavin. With the goal at his mercy he just can’t get anything on it two yards from goal

18

ARSHAVIN FIRES OVER: Good, one-touch football from Arsenal. Bendtner, Nasri and then to Arshavin who hits an effort over the bar from outside the area. Good football, and unlucky

16

PRETTY IN PINK: Szczesny is wearing the pink goalkeeper shirt tonight. Available in the Arsenal Club shop… now

15

A FRENETIC START: Arsenal are a goal up and in all truth it could be two. Leeds started the better of the two sides but Arsenal are growing all the time and are starting to dictate the pace of the game

13

NASRI NEARLY IN AGAIN: The goalscorer plays a great one-two with Djourou on the edge of the area but the defender just over-hits his pass and Schmeichel gathers

12

ARSHAVIN LOOKING AT THE REFEREE: He goes down under a challenge from Connolly on the edge of the area but the referee doesn’t want to know

10

CHAMAKH CLOSE TO MAKING IT TWO: The striker meets a corner from the right with a powerful header six yards out. It bounces just in from of Schmeichel who makes a wonderful one-handed save low to his right.

LEEDS SHOCKED: The home fans are stunned and you can only here the travelling away fans now

5

INCREDIBLE: It was all Leeds in the opening five minutes but Arsenal score with their very first attack! Arshavin feeds the ball to Nasri from the left and he takes the ball away from two defenders before coolly slotting part Schmeichel from inside the area. What a start!

5

GOAL! - Samir Nasri
0 : 1
GOAL FOR ARSENAL! That was their first chance of the game. Nasri makes it 1-0….

3

GOOD OPENING FROM LEEDS: Koscielny is forced to block a Gradel shot and at the moment Arsenal haven’t got out of their own half

2

LEEDS HAVE STARTED ON TOP: It was always going to be the way, the home side have started on the front foot and Arsenal haven’t got their foot on the ball yet

1

EARLY SHOT FROM GRADEL: It’s takes Leeds barely 30 seconds to have their first effort. But it’s weak from outside the area and trickles harmlessly wide

Kick Off
WE’RE OFF: We're kicking from right to left in this first half. COME ON ARSENAL!

ARSENAL IN YELLOW: Tonight we are in yellow shirts, redcurrant shorts and yellow socks

PACKED: Elland Road is full, and I mean FULL. The Leeds fans are making a lot of noise and we’re nearly ready to go

THE PLAYERS ARE ON THEIR WAY: Arsenal led out by the Frenchman, come on you Gunners!

Samir Nasri wears the armband tonight, I believe that's the first time he has ever captained the side

I spoke to a journalist from Leeds yesterday and he told me: “The fear is that Leeds’ chance has gone. But I spoke to Schmeichel after the game [against Scunthorpe] on Saturday and he was insisting that isn’t the case, he says the players aren’t thinking like that. He was saying they have run Arsenal close once so why not again?” So the Leeds camp is in confident mood.

Ahead of tonight’s game, Arsene Wenger has spoken about a lack of focus from his team in the 1-1 draw at Emirates. “I cannot deny that,” admitted the manager. “The players want to win everything and maybe we were a little bit surprised by the quality of the opposition. But we know now how good Leeds and Ipswich are and therefore we will adjust our focus to the difficulty of the task.”

So Arsène Wenger makes six changes from the side that beat West Ham. Bacary Sagna returns from suspension to start at right back as Emmanuel Eboue drops to the bench.

The Arsenal team is in and here it is: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Gibbs, Song, Denilson, Nasri, Bendtner, Arshavin, Chamakh. More to follow...

And, of course, I will bring you tonight’s teams as soon as I get them.

Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke will be alongside commentator Dan Roebuck and they'll be taking your e-mails during the game and fielding your calls in our post-match show. I'll give you those all-important numbers later. In the meantime get your comments to us via www.arsenal.com/studio.

Welcome to Arsenal TV Online for another MatchDay Show. It gets underway at 7.30m (UK time) with the best bits from an exclusive interview with Arsène Wenger, highlights from the win against West Ham and all the breaking team news from Elland Road.

The prize for the winners: A Fourth-Round tie at home to League One side Huddersfield next Sunday.

Yes, it would have been ideal to go through at Emirates Stadium but it wasn’t to be. Tonight promises to be another very tough game at Elland Road in front of a partisan Yorkshire crowd.

In the end, we were grateful to a last-gasp Cesc Fabregas penalty against Leeds to force an FA Cup Third-Round replay.
